"Is it really okay to feed all six prisoners to the Malevolent Phantom back-to-back like this, sir? Isn't it happening a bit too fast?" Marley asked.Felix stood by the window, gazing outside without turning around. "This is the first time I've seen a Malevolent Phantom react like it's been poisoned. That means the Hall of Souls is playing a long game. To them, only the outcome matters, and the process doesn't. "The fact that they gave Viper the entire batch of serum all at once proves that. The dosage must be excessive. No one would take the risk of running short. In that case, Chloe's survival is just an irrelevant side effect."Of course, this is all just my speculation. I'm not completely sure if I'm right, but this is the best chance we have to grab onto the Hall of Souls's tail."After a brief silence, Marley asked, "What I don't understand is how the Hall of Souls can be so certain that this particular A-tier Malevolent Phantom will kill everyone who takes the serum. What i

"The old monster?" Felix was stunned. Had Billy already figured it out just from that tiny detail?"What do you mean? You managed to tell who it is based on this detail?" Felix questioned.Billy let out a wry chuckle before continuing, "Yeah, I wish I hadn't. But think about it. How many people in Dragonia have real expertise in soul manipulation? How many people can mess with someone's soul and use a red thread like you described? There aren't many possibilities."After taking another sip of coffee, he seemed to be making up for the mouthful he had just spat out in shock."There used to be plenty of dark arts in soul-related cultivation techniques. Something as legitimate as the Phaeron Codex, which is a superior cultivation method, is nearly impossible to master. The restrictions are too strict."Even someone with my level of talent was personally turned away when I tried. I didn't meet the conditions. So tell me. If someone has already tasted the power of soul cultivation, woul

"Fine, you win," Felix said. "All your massage expenses in Kashmere are on me."Billy chuckled. "Now you're finally getting it. Alright, I'll tell you. "A long time ago, during a period of great turmoil, the Phaeron Codex and a few other legitimate soul cultivation techniques suddenly emerged. Martial artists flocked to them because soul cultivation was like opening a whole new door. But you know how strict the conditions for cultivation are. "Hence, human nature took over. People started experimenting and taking shortcuts. In no time, alternative soul cultivation techniques emerged, including the dark arts."The interesting thing is, the Red Moon Reincarnation Requiem was actually created by someone who had successfully cultivated the Phaeron Codex. He was naturally arrogant, extremely gifted, and didn't want to follow in the footsteps of those before him. "Hence, he decided to forge his own path and succeeded at that. However, what he created turned out to be a dark art. When

"That fatso told you, didn't he?" Gerald asked.At the mere mention of the Scarlet Lord, Gerald immediately knew what the question was about."Yeah, he's right here next to me. And by the way, that masseuse just now? He was the one who called for her," Felix said.Gerald immediately started cursing."That useless idiot! His mentor stayed pure and disciplined his entire life, and somehow, he ended up with such a disgrace as a mentee. And the audacity! He dares to call for masseuse Number 12 just like me? What kind of taste does he have?"Luckily, Billy wasn't eavesdropping. He was too busy chatting away with the masseuse, holding her hand like they were old friends."Let's focus on what's important, Mr. Hoffman. What do you know about the Scarlet Lord? Could he still be alive? According to Billy, there's a possibility."Gerald got back to the topic at hand."There's no way I can give you a definite answer. After all, it was that old bastard who went to kill the Scarlet Lord, not

Just as the figure turned to leave, the other added one last instruction."The higher-ups don't want to draw too much attention from headquarters yet. So, when you retrieve that A-tier Malevolent Phantom, try not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary.""Understood!"…At a shopping mall in Kashmere, Felix was browsing through stores, already having bought several items.It had been 24 hours since the A-tier Malevolent Phantom had consumed its last death row inmate. Had the Hall of Souls really given up? There had been no movement so far, and Felix was starting to feel frustrated. If this opportunity slipped away, getting another wouldn't be so easy.His plan couldn't be delayed for too long. After discussing with Xena, they had set a final deadline of 48 hours. If the Hall of Souls still didn't make a move by then, they would transport the A-tier Malevolent Phantom back to headquarters and hand it over to Elliott for research.If it were any other A-tier Malevolent Phanto

Once the woman was done speaking, she threw the phone over to Felix. He caught it and frowned. "Do you know me?" he asked.The woman shook her head. "No, but you probably know my brother—Ronan."Felix was surprised. "You're from the Warlock family?"The woman, Greta Morel, replied, "That's right! But don't worry—I know people like you are trustworthy. I'm sure I'll definitely see my brother in a little over half a year, right?"If it had been in the past, Felix wouldn't have been confident enough to answer—but now…"Yes, I promise your brother will come back safely. He's doing well now and isn't suffering any pain." Greta brushed her bangs aside with a smile. She was an attractive woman with a tall figure. "If my grandfather believes in you, of course, I trust you too. I actually came here on his orders this time too. There are some things I can't discuss over the phone, so I came here personally."As she spoke, she dug out a letter from her pocket and handed it over. "The w

Since the woman, Yelena Myres, was willing to cooperate, Felix was also happy to oblige. This could save him a lot of time! Otherwise, if he directly got information from her soul, he would be overwhelmed by it and have to filter it himself."You most likely outrank Viper, right?"Disdain immediately surfaced on her face as she laughed. "Viper? Hah! He's nothing but a small fry who works for us. Those martial artists aren't even worthy to join the Hall of Souls. Despite being the lowest-ranking Blue Soul member, I'm still a formal member of the Hall of Souls."As far as she knew, the Hall of Souls ranked from lowest to highest according to color. There were five, ranging from Blue, Green, Cyan, Black, and White—Yelena was the lowest ranking, a Blue Soul Scout. However, Felix was confused. "Either the A-tier Malevolent Phantom wasn't too important to you, or they sent you as bait. Why wouldn't they send someone stronger?"According to Billy, Yelena was at least a True Blood Realm

The photo wasn't particularly clear. It looked like it was taken from a dashcam. However, it was more than enough for Felix to recognize Ophelia. He thought about how much she had helped him.If Ophelia hadn't figured out the rules of the Three Forbidden Lands, he would've been in big trouble if he had foolishly gone to Misty Ridge first—so how could she do such a thing?"Do you know this woman? Is she also from the Hall of Souls?" Felix asked.Yelena had been telling him everything she knew as she didn't have a choice now. She shook her head. "I don't. She's not from the Hall of Souls either."I just received the order from a Green Soul Scout to pick up the equipment from her. She drove a van and everything she provided was in the van. She left after confirming my identity. We didn't exchange a single word after that."Felix took a deep breath and put aside the matter for the time being. He would definitely ask more when he had the chance. "So tell me about the Malevolent Phant

Felix had clearly found Holt's weak spot. These guys were so desperate to extend their lives that they turned the entire Aquamarinus into a breeding ground. Obviously, they were terrified of death. As long as there was even the slightest chance of survival, they'd take it.And sure enough, Holt immediately agreed. He pulled out some kind of device and flew off, clearly contacting his comrades."But even if I agreed," Holt said, "the three of us split up and searched in different directions. Even if they rush over, they won't make it until tomorrow."The fear in his eyes was obvious, so much so that Felix couldn't help but laugh."How interesting," Felix said. "You made a deal with the Ant Queen, right? Couldn't she at least give you something to help you move freely through Desolated Lands at night?"Holt shot him a bitter smile. "The Ant Queen's children—the soldier ants—are born hunters. That instinct can't be erased. And honestly, we've never needed to go out at night anyway."

Lumen flew out and quickly returned. Felix's expression eased completely, and with a step, he vanished from where he stood."Chasing me was fun last time, huh? Did you think it'd go the same this time?" he asked.When he reappeared, someone was already lying on the ground about ten yards ahead. It was a figure fully shrouded in a gray robe, a man named Holt Bovington.That was Felix holding back. Otherwise, Lumen's previous strike could've shattered Holt's soul on the spot."Felix Zeller? It really is you!" Holt's voice was full of shock. Whatever he'd planned to do was already too late. His soul had taken a devastating blow, and he no longer had the strength to fight."Yeah, it's me. Just like I suspected, you people really aren't all that strong when it comes to soul power."Felix had spared his life because he wanted answers."If you answer a few questions honestly, I'll let you live. Even with your soul badly damaged, I assume someone who knows about Nine Flames and Desolate

Three months later, deep within a mountain on Aquamarinus, a meeting was taking place. Who would've imagined palace-like structures hidden within the mountain itself?In one of the chambers, a sky-blue dome adorned the ceiling. Beneath it, three figures in gray robes sat cross-legged, their bodies cloaked in shadow. Their faces were completely obscured."I went to see the Ant Queen yesterday. There's definitely something wrong.""Enough with the vague talk. Be specific.""In just three months, the Ant Queen has lost millions of her children. Do you even understand what that means?"The atmosphere shifted as all three took a sharp breath. A long silence followed before one finally spoke, "Perhaps our earlier theory is right. Is someone hunting soldier ants in Desolated Lands at night?""It has to be. How else do you explain millions of casualties? At this rate, we're down to just a million soldier ants across the entire planet. If this keeps up, they'll be wiped out in a month. An

"I didn't expect you to be a doctor, too. Thanks," Myles said, but then suddenly froze. His mind started racing.Wait a minute! He took down a tiger of True Blood Realm. On top of that, he was extremely skilled in medicine. That could only mean…"You figured out who I am?" Felix asked with a smile, trying to put Myles at ease. Despite that, Myles couldn't hide his fear. "You're Felix Zeller?""That's right. Judging by your reaction, I take it I've become a traitor to The Recovery Association? Or maybe some kind of unforgivable villain?"The air grew a bit awkward, and Myles shot him a strained smile."Not exactly… It's just that you took down the Flame Monarch. That's kind of hard to wrap my head around."His expression shifted again."Actually, everyone's still pretty confused. When we woke up this morning, every city, town, and even the smallest villages received a message. Five days from now, the Flame Monarch is holding a Flame Ceremony."Felix paused, frowning. "What's t

With Lumen and Indigo attacking and the Infinite Shield defending, Felix held his ground. Occasionally, he cast minor spells that barely consumed any soul power. Even as the monsters surged toward him like a tidal wave, not one of them could so much as scratch him.Feeling the steady stream of energy flooding into him, Felix grinned. If things kept going like this, there was a high chance he'd break through to the next major soul realm—Soul Overlord Realm.If he could level up again during the elimination rounds, his odds of winning the whole thing would increase significantly. Especially since Soul Overlord Realm required soul enhancement, it was a whole different league compared to Aetherium Realm.Once he hit Soul Overlord Realm, he was confident he'd be able to go toe-to-toe in a soul battle with the powerful figure who had chased him during dusk.That guy didn't dare appear in Desolated Lands at night, which likely meant his soul wasn't strong. In that case, Felix might actual

The sun had already begun to set. After fleeing in a panic, Felix had no idea if there was even a single place ahead that could shield him from the coming darkness.A few minutes later, the presence chasing him within his domain disappeared. Logically, the pursuer should've caught up in less than ten minutes, but they gave up. Still, Felix didn't relax for a second. The darkness was about to fall, and that could only mean two things. Either the pursuer wasn't confident they could survive the desolate night themselves, or they assumed there was no flame nearby and Felix was as good as dead.Either way, this was the most dangerous moment yet.After sprinting several more miles, Felix finally stopped. All around him stretched a barren wasteland with no end in sight. Even though he had memorized maps to identify different areas, they were useless now. As darkness swallowed the land, all reference points vanished."Damn it! I guess I'll have to see for myself what the hell comes out i

When Eira and Luigi saw that Felix was determined to go through with it, they moved instantly. Appearing right in front of him, they dropped to their knees."Please, Felix! For the sake of all those innocent lives, stop.""If you're really set on taking this flame, then kill us first."Seeing the two of them so resolute, Felix hesitated. The lives of hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—now hung in the balance, all dependent on one decision from him."I haven't known you for long," Eira continued. "But from the way you avenged the 200 people of Innswood Village, I know you're not someone who kills without reason. You'd never turn a blind eye to the lives of ordinary people. "Please show them mercy. They've already suffered enough."Tears streamed down her face. The purpose of The Recovery Association was clear—overthrow the Flame Monarch, destroy the Nine Flames, and return Aquamarinus to what it once was. However, when it came to principles and morals, they were unwaveri

Felix thought that Gerald's advice really was spot-on. If he hadn't achieved Extreme Mastery, he could still beat the Flame Monarch. However, his subsequent journey would have been difficult. Winning first place in the Rank-Ascending Competition to protect Earth would've been almost impossible.With a casual wave of Felix's hand, the Flame Monarch collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, no one was around to see it. Otherwise, they'd have been scared out of their minds.The most powerful being on Aquamarinus, the Flame Monarch, just got instantly wiped out by Felix. To Felix, it was like crushing an ant and required no effort at all."It's time to complete the mission," Felix said.Just like that, he vanished. His speed was insane because Nine Flames were all scattered far apart. Since travel was banned at night, he couldn't afford to waste even a second.Honestly, he was curious what it would be like to go out at night. However, after thinking it over, he decided it just wasn't worth

Under the sunlight, Innswood Village looked even lonelier. If it weren't for Felix standing in the open field, the place would've looked like a dead town. Soon, a sound broke through the silent air. A person stood 30 feet in front of Felix. It was the Flame Monarch, whom Felix had met once."I really thought you were a member of The Recovery Association and that you'd laid a trap here. But it turns out, you're really alone."Felix replied, "I am a member of The Recovery Association, but why do I need a trap to kill you?"Oh? A member of The Recovery Association? The Flame Monarch smiled. "You're really brave, you know. You're the first person in Aquamarinus who dares to face me like this. Even the leader of The Recovery Association had been in seclusion, trying to reach Heavenly Realm before facing me."I don't know where you get your confidence from."Initially, Felix wanted to attack immediately. But he still had questions to ask. "There are only the two of us here. Sinc
